The Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy is a congregation founded in Warsaw, Poland in 1862, and they established a presence in Dorchester, MA in 1988. With a devotion to the Divine Mercy, these active-contemplative sisters wear full habits and engage in various outreach activities such as ministering to prisoners and praying with the dying in nursing homes. The Abbey of Regina Laudis, located in Bethlehem, Connecticut, is a contemplative community founded in 1947. Following the rule of St. Benedict, the abbey functions like a little town, with its own dairy and sheep herds, as well as engaging in various crafts such as blacksmithing, pottery, and cheese-making. Notable members of this community include Mother Dolores Hart, a former movie actress, and Mother Noella Marcellino, known as "The Cheese Nun" for her expertise in cheese-making.
